Why teams look beyond Notion

Notion is excellent for documents and wikis. The trouble starts with the work around them.

Email and chat live elsewhere

Notion's plans don't include email on your own domain or team chat, so the conversations about a page happen in other apps. ADLR has both beside your docs.

Invoices and HR are extra

Notion's plans cover pages, databases, sites and forms. Invoicing and HR mean more products to buy and connect. ADLR includes them in the seat.

AI on the higher plan

Notion AI comes with the Business plan, with a trial on Free and Plus. Adi, ADLR's built-in AI, comes with every seat.

Where Notion still wins

An honest list, so you can decide with your eyes open.

Notion wins

Writing together

Several people can work on a Notion page at once, with comments, @mentions and page history of up to 90 days on Business. ADLR's Docs and Sheets are edited by one person at a time, without comments or history.

Notion wins

Databases you design

Notion's databases take custom properties, subtasks and dependencies, in views you set up yourself. ADLR's projects and tasks come ready: boards, lists and timelines with fields you add.

Notion wins

Apps that work offline

Notion's desktop and phone apps work offline. ADLR runs in your browser, and on a phone you add it to your home screen.

What you keep from Notion

Your docs, your boards and your habits. What changes is everything around them.

  • Docs with headings, checklists and tables
  • Folders for your docs
  • Sheets for your tables
  • Boards, lists and timelines
  • Custom fields on tasks
  • @mentions in chat
  • Forms with a public link
  • Search from ⌘K

Built for the way client teams work

Dev shops

A project's chat next to the build

Each project has its own chat beside its tasks, and Tasks has a GitHub view, so a question in chat is one click from the work.

Agencies and services

From the client's email to a paid invoice

Client email on your own domain, the contract they sign and an invoice they can pay by card, all in one workspace.

Remote teams

Stand-ups that keep their notes

A Room keeps a team's meetings, chat and files together, with Adi's minutes when AI is on.

Switching, with help

ADLR doesn't import Notion pages. Here is how teams move over.

  1. Book your onboarding call

    Thirty minutes with us, and you leave with a migration plan. Migration help is free.

  2. Bring your databases across

    Export a Notion database as CSV and import it as a board in Tasks, mapping its columns as you go.

  3. Copy the pages you still use

    Copy them into ADLR Docs, in folders, and upload the files they link to.

  4. Run both while you switch

    Keep Notion open while your team moves over. The two aren't linked, so set a date for the switch.

Questions teams ask before switching
